Aren't bank-robbing movies fun? I belong to the audience group that usually watches these movies, because so often Hollywood makes the heroes so likable. Even though we know they're doing something wrong, we hope they get away with it. In Bandits, Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton are a bank-robbing duo who are extremely polite and well-liked by their victims. The night before a heist, they visit the house of the bank manager, have dinner, spend the night, and accompanying him to work the next morning. It's very funny even though it would never work in real life, but for a Hollywood comedy, it's a perfect setup.
While the dynamic duo work well together and balance out each other's characters, Cate Blanchett joins in the fun and threatens to wreck their friendship. When both men fall for her, that's a difficult enough situation, but when she falls for both men, it's even more complicated! The lesson of this movie is to expect the unexpected, so keep that in mind when you settle down for this fun romantic comedy.
